Declarative Decentralization: the final rails for Web3 by Adrian Brink

Ethereum provides decentralized, permissionless and censorship-resistant state settlement and dApps make extensive use of that. However most dApps also need counter-party discovery and solving capabilities in order to provide users with interactivity to discover others with whom to trade/settle transactions. This talk proposes an intent-solver pattern and explains how dApps from OpenSea to CowSwap and L2s such as Optimism or Starknet can use it to become truly decentralized. Adrian Brink Co-founder Anoma Adrian is Co-founder of Anoma. Prior to Anoma, Adrian co-founded, scaled and eventually sold Cryptium Labs, an infrastructure operator that provided PoS validation from bunkers in the Swiss Alps, while simultaneously building Metastate, an R&D company that upgraded layer-1 protocols valued at over $4bn. Adrian was formerly the 3rd core protocol engineer building Cosmos and completed a graduate thesis on censorship-resistant e-voting systems as a means of helping the Catalan people to gain their independence. https://twitter.com/adrian_brink
